whale wave

Rhododendrons and wisterias are in full bloom in the flower corridor, and there is a pair of mandarin ducks in captivity in the pool. The lotus leaves are emerald green like umbrellas, and they are uneven, dotted with green tiles and Zhuliang. Zhao Yousheng walked on the flower corridor of Chen's house, and heard the sound of the piano from a distance. The sound came from the direction of the fasting room.

The long flower corridor stretches under the feet, and the spring sun shines mottled on the face and shoulders, illuminating Zhao Yousheng's purple robe brightly and radiantly. He walked in a hurry, listening to the sound of the piano, and walked slowly In the long corridor, before Chen Yuyajie's study, stop at the stone steps.He is not in a hurry to go in. Once he enters, the sound of the piano will stop. He stands outside the door and listens to the piano.

Mo Yu walked past Zhao Yousheng, glared at him playfully, and made a gesture of shouting, he put his index finger to his lips and made a booing gesture, his brows and eyes were smiling, which was indescribably beautiful.

Sister Moyu "let him go", her green figure lightly passed through the courtyard and disappeared at the end of the flower corridor.

The sound of the piano is melodious and quiet, and you can feel the leisurely mood in the player's heart. Zhao Yousheng listened quietly, with his eyelids lowered, as if he was surrounded by mountains and flowing water in spring, which made him feel comfortable.

The sound of the piano stopped, and Zhao Youcheng still had no intention of entering the room. He didn't want Chen Yu to raise his head as if he had sensed him, and saw the figure outside the window. He hurriedly walked to the door and called him in surprise: "A Leftover, when are you coming?"

Zhao Yousheng looked back at him, and said with a smile: Not long after, I listened to half of the song.

Chen Yu walked to his side, leaning against the wall with him, looking at the courtyard under the bright sun, the two of them leaned against each other, talking about trivial matters in life, mostly Chen Yu was talking, while Zhao Yousheng was listening.

While talking, Chen Yu couldn't help looking at Zhao Yousheng's waist. Last time, he found that the crystal pendant worn by Cheng Chang was missing. It was a leopard-shaped crystal beast, lifelike and crystal clear.

"Ah Leftover, where is the crystal beast on your waist?"

"Oh, it seems to be lost outside."

"It's so precious, why haven't you found it again?" Chen Yubang regretted that he knew it was given to him by Zhao Yousheng's grandfather.

"Yeah." Zhao Youcheng tilted his head slightly. He couldn't tell the truth to Chen Yu, thinking that the crystal beast had turned into a sea boat in the dock in the east of the city, and there were nine pieces of iron wood.

Chen Yu thought to himself that there is a Yushizhai in the city that sells crystals, but such a beautiful crystal beast, I am afraid there is no similar one, and it is also quite expensive.Chen Yu has a certain amount of money to spend every month, and he wants to save some money, so he can buy one.

The two of them were talking against the wall outside the door. From time to time, servants and maidservants passed by in the courtyard, always visiting them, and there were even maidservants from the courtyard of the two elder brothers.Chen Yu had long noticed that the maidservant looked at Zhao Youcheng differently from others, with shyness and a little admiration.

Because Zhao Yousheng came here often, the maidservants in Chen's house knew that he was the eldest son, and they often saw him coming, and looked at him more out of curiosity.

Zhao Yousheng, who only focused on the people around him, didn't notice that the maidservants were all looking at him, and naturally showed shame towards him. He grabbed Chen Yu's wrist and led him into the room. He just felt that outsiders were an eyesore.

Chen Yu was suddenly grabbed by the wrist, allowing Zhao Yousheng to take him into the study, which was elegant and much quieter.

The two came to the piano case. Chen Yu sat on the futon and plucked the strings. He felt someone leaning against his back. He lowered his head and did not move. He saw Zhao Youcheng reach out and pat a purple petal from the body of the piano. petals.

"Is the piece that I played before a new one? I haven't heard it before, would Xiao Yu want to play it again?"

"It's a new song, and I like it too."

"It's suitable for spring, mountains and rivers, making people feel comfortable." Zhao Yousheng's music is only a general hobby, but he can appreciate it.

Chen Yu nodded and said that this song was called "You Chun", and he was very happy that You Sheng liked it.He straightened his sleeves, revealing his white and slender arms. His fingers plucked on the strings, and the sound of the piano was long and refreshing.

Zhao Youcheng was lying on a low couch with one leg propped up, playing with a small sweet beast in his hand, green glazed, round and cute, and upon closer inspection it was a rabbit.Sometimes he listens to the piano, sometimes he looks at the player, and his eyes often stay on Chen Yu.

Chen Yu finished playing a song and didn't intend to play any more. He sat on the low couch and talked sideways with Zhao Yousheng. He talked about Zhuangdie inviting him to Lin's farm on the fourth day of the junior high school, and asked Zhao Yousheng if he was going?

Zhao Youcheng sat up, grabbed Chen Yu's hand resting on the edge of the couch, and suddenly leaned towards his neck to sniff the fragrance. Seeing that Chen Yu was a little flustered, he said softly, "This is a newly prepared fragrance. No wonder it smells different."

Chen Yu lowered his head, one ear turned red, and whispered, "I also made a fragrant cake for Ah Leftover."

"Is it the same smell as yours?" Zhao Yousheng leaned closer to Chen Yu's collar and sniffed, and the warm breath blew on his neck.

Chen Yu didn't know that he did it on purpose, and said with a blushing face, "Same."

He was about to get up in a hurry, and wanted to get the box of fragrant cakes, but Zhao Yousheng grabbed his hand and said there was no hurry.

The two just stared at each other, Zhao Youcheng was lying on the couch, Chen Yu was sitting sideways on the edge of the couch, the two were silent, Chen Yu's heart was pounding, it took a while before Zhao Youcheng let go of his hand.

The door of the study is wide open, usually no one will break in, but there are accidents, and Chen Yu is shy, so he moves his seat away from Zhao Yousheng.He remembered the four outings at the beginning, and asked Zhao Yousheng again, wanting to go with him.

"Of course I'm going, Xiao Yu brings the kite with me."

Chen Yu rejoiced: "I asked Dong Wan to buy kites, and Jinpintang's crispy custard!"

Seeing him happily like a child, Zhao Yousheng said with a smile: "You don't need to bring too many things, there is everything in the farm, and Zhuang Die will bring what you don't have."

Fearing that Mo Yu would make a big move, he sent out a dozen servants, carrying tables, chairs, refreshments, mats, tableware and other things.Whenever Zhuang Die came to Chen's house, all kinds of desserts and drinks could fill the table, because he knew that Zhao Yousheng didn't like sweets, so he came frequently, otherwise Mo Yu would be "offensive" in the same way.

Chen Yu hurriedly asked Dong Wan to sell kites and soufflés, the day after tomorrow would be the fourth day, so he had to prepare well.Zhao Yousheng got down from the low couch and walked around the study. On the desk, he saw a fragrant wooden box with the word "Sheng" written on it. When he opened the wooden box, there was a piece of fragrant cake inside.

He wanted to know that this was the fragrant cake that Chen Yu wanted to give him, and when he picked it up and smelled it, it really tasted the same as Chen Yu's.

Well, very good.

Ever since he became proficient at making incense, every time Chen Yu made incense, he would make a copy for his family and friends. A Leftover's father and brother Zhuang Die Duanhe never fell, and of course there was Zheng Yuanya.

Thinking of Zheng Yuanya, Zhao Yousheng remembered the last time Xiaoyu said that Yuanya disliked his cakes being tasteless.Of course, Zheng Yuanya would not use the literary "dull and tasteless", based on Zhao Yousheng's understanding of him, what he said should be: fade out.

Sometimes when Zhao Yousheng came to Chen's house, he would meet Zheng Yuanya, sometimes Zeng Yuanrong, Su Yi and others, Zhao Yousheng and Yuanya could still chat a few words, but they couldn't talk about friendship with Yuanrong and Su Yi.

When Chen Yu entered the room, he saw Zhao Yousheng holding the fragrant cake that he wanted to give him. Zhao Yousheng put the fragrant cake into the fragrant wooden box, put the fragrant wooden box in his hand, and said, "Thank you, Xiaoyu." Chen Yu thought he was leaving, Somewhat reluctant, she followed him out, and the two walked up the flower corridor together.

Zhao Yousheng said: "Xiao Yu, I will pick you up early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

Chen Yu readily agreed.

The two walked side by side on the flower gallery, one in purple and the other in blue. They talked all the way, the spring light reflected their smiles, wisterias were falling, and lotus leaves were tender.

Zhao Yousheng and his friends would go to Linjiazhuang to play together almost every year. Time passed on this group of young people. The originally youthful teenagers grew into adults; the originally mischievous children grew into little teenagers.

There are still six masters and a small number of servants, laughing and laughing out of the city gate early in the morning.Zhao Zhuangkun still led Zhao Youqing, leading the horse and running at the front. The nine-year-old Youqing was very envious of everyone having horses. His brother Zhuangkun said that he would teach him how to ride a horse when he went to the farm. He was very happy on the horse Waving your hands.Zhao Duanhe and Zhuang Die were in the middle of the team, walking side by side, chatting leisurely.Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu lagged behind, they took their time, and the others didn't rush, they all knew that they had a good relationship.

The people in front gradually drifted away and disappeared. Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu rode their horses to chase them. The forest wind blew their clothes, and the weeds swayed. Chen Yu, who was following closely, gradually slowed down. He looked at Zhao Youcheng who was galloping in the sun.He recalled the dream of the two of them riding a horse together. One year older, he could already understand the hints in the dream. He was trembling and melancholy, flustered and joyful, unable to express such complex emotions clearly.

It's useless to think too much, Chen Yu drove and caught up with Zhao Yousheng, as if he had crossed mountains and rivers, just to keep pace with him.

The activities of the Lin Family Grange are similar every year, either hunting birds, hunting wild birds, or picking seasonal fruits, and always setting aside time for everyone to drink tea together, or ride horses in twos and threes to run in the woods.

Flying kites this year, both Zhao Youqing and Chen Yu like to fly kites. Youqing runs on the grass with the string of the kite, like a crazy child. .Chen Yu gently pulled the kite line, the wind was a little strong, afraid that the kite would be blown away.

The rest spread out mats on the grass, tasted fruit cakes, and drank tea. Zhuang Kun asked Duanhe: I heard that you plan to take a scientific examination this year. Why don't you get married before you go to Beijing? It's a double blessing.

Zhao Duanhe was tasting tea, almost choked and coughed for a long time.

"Don't say it's you, You Sheng should also take care of it." The eldest brother Zhuang Kun taught the younger brothers in the tone of someone who has experienced it.

Zhao Yousheng rested his arms on his thighs, sitting in an unruly posture. He was looking at his younger brother and Chen Yu who were playing together. Hearing Zhuang Kun's words, he smiled and said, "What do you say?"

"Tsk tsk, you're just pretending to be confused! I saw you go to the east of the city more than once, and Goulan Washeduo over there, I didn't expect you to..." Before Zhuang Kun finished speaking, he saw Chen Yu walking towards them.

"Brother Zhuang Kun, if he didn't go to Goulan Washe, how would he know I'm going?" Zhao Yousheng drank tea calmly.

Kun coughed, and Zhuang Die looked at his brother.

"I don't think You Sheng is someone who likes that kind of place." Duanhe put down his tea bowl, his tone was quite sure.

"Speaking of which, Ah Leftover has been very secretive lately, and he doesn't know what to do outside. He always talks about going out for drinks with us. Last time, when I went to Ah Leftover's house, my aunt asked, and I still need to help cover up." Zhuang Die Thinking of such a thing, he held his chin and looked at Zhao Youcheng with a puzzled expression.

Chen Yu was sitting beside him, Zhao Yousheng felt that he needed to clarify: "I have nothing to do, I just went to Fanguan for a few drinks."

Sure enough, except for Chen Yu, everyone looked at him with weird eyes. Fanfang was a mess, messy, and rumored to be very dangerous. As the eldest son, almost no one would go to such a place.

"You Sheng, the eldest son is not allowed to ship merchants himself." Zhuang Kun hit the nail on the head, they were old acquaintances, and from conversations in the past, he also knew that this restless guy was very interested in sea ships and overseas trade.

"There are so many rules to follow." Zhao Yousheng took a sip of tea and saw the concerned eyes of his old friends, as if he was about to be buried in the sea in the next moment. Losing is a joy."

Since Zhao Yousheng's grandfather was a person who liked to go to Fanguan to collect overseas rumors, old friends no longer find it difficult to understand.

Chen Yu has been to Fanguan and is familiar with such places. There are so many singers in Fanguan, and they are passionate and beautiful, and there are very few men who are not attracted to them.Zhao Yousheng's explanation is actually no different from going to Goulan Washe.

"I heard that Fanguan singers are bold and glamorous, can sing and dance well, and have a special flavor." Zhuang Kun is really a pot that can't be opened.

Zhao Yousheng drank tea without saying a word, and even wanted to beat someone up in his heart, while Chen Yu lowered his head and wrapped the kite string, silent and silent.

"Brother, I want to tell sister-in-law." Zhuang Die stared, his elder brother just got married this year.

Amid Zhuang Kun's embarrassing yet unrestrained laughter, everyone stopped talking about Fanguan, and instead focused on Duanhe's scientific research this year and when he will marry a wife.In fact, Duanhe was only one year older than Yousheng, and he was forced to marry him.

At night, everyone stayed in the wooden house in the farm as before, Zhao Yousheng and You Qing shared one room, and Chen Yu was next door.Youqing slept in a bed by himself, enjoyed playing during the day, and slept on all fours at night. Zhao Yousheng lay on his own big bed, touched a book and read at night, without feeling sleepy.

There was silence all around, Zhao Yousheng heard footsteps outside the door, he put down his book, opened the door to check, and saw Chen Yu was outside the door.Zhao Yousheng gently closed the door behind him, and asked Chen Yu, "Can't sleep?"

Chen Yu nodded and asked in a low voice, "Ah Leftover, will you go to Beijing for the exam this year?"

"No." Zhao Yousheng lowered his voice, not wanting to be heard by others.

On a mountain night in spring, the wind was strong and the weather was cold. Zhao Yousheng took Chen Yu's hand and led him into the room.The lights in Chen Yu's room were brightly lit, and the bed was neatly made, obviously he had never been lying down.

Zhao Youcheng closed the door casually, and as soon as he turned around, he felt Chen Yu leaning over and hugged him gently, Zhao Youcheng was a little stunned, Chen Yu raised his head and smiled brightly.He was very happy that Ah Surplus didn't have to take the imperial examination this year. He knew that the eldest son's admission was easy, and Ah Surplus would definitely pass if he took the exam.

Chen Yugang wanted to separate himself from You Sheng, and he didn't want to be held down by the waist by the other's big hand, preventing him from leaving.Chen Yu was ashamed and lowered his head, he was afraid of making contact with his eyes, and his mind would be known completely.

"Brother, where is brother? Brother!"

Zhao Youqing's call came from outside the door, and that voice sounded a little scared.Presumably he woke up but saw no one in the room, and the wind was loud outside the window, which frightened him.

Zhao Yousheng let go of Chen Yu, calmly straightened his clothes, opened the door and walked out.

The author has something to say: The next day, You Qing: Why is my brother ignoring others!
